Prayers to know God in His power (book excerpt)

27/02/2020

Sometimes I say in the course of preaching that one of the most remarkable things about God is that He speaks as if He is God. In other words, He is unlimited in His scope and capacity. He makes promises as if there was no doubt as to their coming to pass. He speaks of the future with the utmost confidence, that is because He is a God of power and there is no power equal to His.

Knowing Him as our loving Father is wonderful, but even better is knowing Him as our loving Father who is also all powerful and able to do every good that He promises. We are sometimes overwhelmed by the circumstances life throws at us, and it is easy to be intimidated by seemingly immovable obstacles and intractable opponents. They can loom larger than life. But when we know our heavenly Father in His limitless power, we think and act differently.

Pray then for a true revelation of God in His power, for understanding of the implication in your life of the power of God. Pray that the fullness of His power will be expressed in, for and through you.

AND THEN AS WE ENTER INTO OUR COVENANT, LET US HAVE THE ONE PRAYER—THAT WE MAY BELIEVE FULLY THAT THE EVERLASTING GOD IS GOING TO BE OUR COMPANION, HOLDING OUR HAND EVERY MOMENT OF THE DAY; OUR KEEPER, WATCHING OVER US WITHOUT A MOMENT’S INTERVAL; OUR FATHER, DELIGHTING TO REVEAL HIMSELF IN OUR SOULS ALWAYS..” ~ ANDREW MURRAY

Psalm 62:11-12

God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: strength belongs to God, and faithful love belongs to You, Lord. For You repay each according to his works. Isaiah 40:10-11 10 See, the Lord God comes with strength, and His power establishes His rule. His reward is with Him, and His gifts accompany Him. He protects His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them in the fold of His garment. He gently leads those that are nursing.
